T'Challa has always been a good person, but with the universe at his fingertips, you can see how much he could've done if given the chance. A beautiful tribute to the actor.

The second is better in that it finally feels like they have some sort of consequences for changing things, but really only the second manages to achieve greatness.

The second episode of What If samples some of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy and brings T'Challa (the late Chadwick Boseman) back to the MCU, turning him into an fascinating centerpiece for the larger universe to move around.
